When Luke Bennett and Owen Mercer arrive at a remote lake cabin expecting solitude, neither is prepared to find it already occupied—twice booked, twice claimed, and neither willing to leave.What begins as inconvenience becomes negotiation. What begins as tension becomes structure. And what begins as temporary becomes something neither of them can quite name.Set against the quiet stillness of a lakeside cabin, Double Booked follows two strangers forced into proximity as they slowly dismantle the belief that every connection must begin in chaos or end in departure. Luke brings ease where Owen brings precision; humor where control once ruled. In the space between them, something unexpected forms—less like traditional romance, and more like something steadier, harder to define, and difficult to walk away from.As time passes and the cabin shifts from accident to return, both men are forced to confront a simple question: what happens when nothing is broken—but nothing is temporary anymore?A quiet, intimate literary romance about presence, change, and learning how to stay.
